We TRIED to watch the dog show on local TV last night

We turned out after the first set of commercials. Every commercial was an R running for POTUS. One we never heard of.

In any event, its not that Trump set the equal time rules in motion. They're set in motion any time any candidate makes an appearance, including in a paid ad.

The candidates are all buying ads and the stations are more than happy to sell them the time.
